1. What Lenalidomide Teva is and what it is used for

What Lenalidomide Teva is
Lenalidomide Teva contains the active substance "lenalidomide". This medicine belongs to a group of medicines that affect the function of the immune system.
What Lenalidomide Teva is used for
Lenalidomide Teva is used in adult patients for the treatment of:

• multiple myeloma,
• myelodysplastic syndromes,
• mantle cell lymphoma,
• follicular lymphoma.

Multiple myeloma
Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer that affects a certain type of white blood cells called plasma cells. These cells accumulate in the bone marrow and divide uncontrollably. This may lead to damage of bones and kidneys.
Multiple myeloma is generally incurable. However, it is possible to achieve temporary significant reduction or disappearance of signs and symptoms of the disease. This is called "remission".
Newly diagnosed multiple myeloma – in patients after bone marrow transplantation
In this indication, Lenalidomide Teva is used alone as maintenance therapy following achievement of an adequate response after transplantation.
Newly diagnosed multiple myeloma – in patients who cannot be treated with bone marrow transplantation
Lenalidomide Teva is taken in combination with other medicines, including:

• a chemotherapy medicine called "bortezomib";
• an anti-inflammatory medicine called "dexamethasone";
• a chemotherapy medicine called "melphalan", and
• an immunosuppressive medicine called "prednisone". The patient starts treatment with additional medicines and then continues with Lenalidomide Teva alone.

If you are 75 years of age or older, or have moderate to severe kidney problems, your doctor will perform careful assessments before starting treatment.
Multiple myeloma – in previously treated patients
Lenalidomide Teva is taken in combination with an anti-inflammatory medicine called "dexamethasone".
Lenalidomide Teva may stop the progression of signs and symptoms of multiple myeloma. It has also been shown to delay relapse of multiple myeloma after treatment.
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a group of different blood and bone marrow disorders. Abnormal blood cells are present that do not function properly. Patients may experience various subjective and objective symptoms, including low number of red blood cells (anaemia), need for blood transfusions, and risk of infection.
Lenalidomide Teva is used as monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients diagnosed with MDS, if all the following conditions are met:

• the patient requires regular blood transfusions due to low red blood cell count ("transfusion-dependent anaemia");
• the patient has an abnormality in the bone marrow cells called "isolated cytogenetic abnormality del(5q)". This means the patient's body does not produce enough healthy blood cells;
• the patient has previously been treated with other therapies that were inappropriate or not sufficiently effective.

Taking Lenalidomide Teva may lead to an increase in the number of healthy blood cells produced by the body by reducing the number of abnormal cells:

• this may lead to a reduction in the number of required blood transfusions. It may even become possible to discontinue transfusions altogether.

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL)
MCL is a cancer affecting part of the immune system (lymphatic tissue). It attacks a certain type of white blood cells called B-lymphocytes or B-cells. Mantle cell lymphoma is a disease characterised by uncontrolled growth of B-lymphocytes, leading to their accumulation in lymphatic tissue, bone marrow, or blood.
Lenalidomide Teva is used as monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients who have been previously treated with other medicines.
Follicular lymphoma (FL)
Follicular lymphoma (FL) is a slowly growing malignant cancer affecting B-lymphocytes. These are a type of white blood cells that help the body fight infections. In patients with FL, excessive numbers of B-lymphocytes may accumulate in the blood, bone marrow, lymph nodes, and spleen.
Lenalidomide Teva is taken together with another medicine called "rituximab" for the treatment of adult patients with previously treated follicular lymphoma.
How Lenalidomide Teva works
Lenalidomide Teva works by affecting the function of the immune system and directly attacking cancer cells. The medicine works in several different ways:

• by inhibiting the growth of cancer cells;
• by inhibiting the development of blood vessels in tumours;
• by stimulating part of the immune system to attack cancer cells.

2. Important information before taking Lenalidomide Teva

Before starting treatment with Lenalidomide Teva, carefully read the package leaflets
of all medicinal products taken in combination with Lenalidomide Teva.
When not to take Lenalidomide Teva:

• if the patient is pregnant, suspects she may be pregnant, or plans to become pregnant, because Lenalidomide Teva is expected to be harmful to the unborn child (see section 2 "Pregnancy, breastfeeding and contraception – information for women and men");
• if the patient may become pregnant, unless she uses all required contraceptive measures (see section 2 "Pregnancy, breastfeeding and contraception – information for women and men"). If the patient may become pregnant, the doctor will always document at the time of prescribing that necessary measures have been taken and will ensure the patient is informed;
• if the patient has hypersensitivity to lenalidomide or any of the other components of this medicine (listed in section 6). In case of suspected allergy, consult the doctor for advice.

If any of these points apply to the patient, Lenalidomide Teva must not be used.
In case of doubt, consult the doctor.
Warnings and precautions
Before starting treatment with Lenalidomide Teva, discuss with the doctor,
pharmacist or nurse if the patient:

• has previously experienced blood clots – this means an increased risk of developing blood clots in veins and arteries during treatment;
• has any signs of infection, such as cough or fever;
• currently has or has previously had a viral infection, particularly varicella-zoster virus, hepatitis B, HIV infection. In case of doubt, consult the doctor. Treatment with Lenalidomide Teva may cause reactivation of viruses in patients previously infected, leading to recurrence of infection. The doctor will check whether the patient has previously had hepatitis B;
• has kidney problems – the doctor may adjust the dose of Lenalidomide Teva;
• has had a heart attack (infarction), has ever had a blood clot, is a smoker, has high blood pressure or high cholesterol levels;
• experienced allergic reactions while taking thalidomide (another medicine used in the treatment of multiple myeloma), such as rash, itching, swelling, dizziness or difficulty breathing;
• previously experienced a combination of any of the following symptoms: extensive rash, skin redness, high fever, flu-like symptoms, elevated liver enzymes, blood abnormalities (eosinophilia), swollen lymph nodes
  • these are symptoms of a severe skin reaction called drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms, also known as DRESS syndrome (DRESS – Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms) or "drug hypersensitivity syndrome" (see also section 4 "Possible side effects").

If any of the above points apply to the patient, consult the doctor,
pharmacist or nurse.
Immediately inform the doctor or nurse if, at any time during or after completion of treatment, the patient experiences:

• vision disturbances, loss of vision or double vision, difficulty speaking, weakness in the arm or leg, change in gait or balance disturbances, persistent numbness, reduced sensation or loss of sensation, memory loss or disorientation. These may be symptoms of a severe and potentially fatal brain disease called progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). If the patient had such symptoms before treatment with Lenalidomide Teva, inform the doctor about any changes.
• shortness of breath, fatigue, dizziness, chest pain, rapid heartbeat or swelling of the legs or ankles. These may be symptoms of a serious condition known as pulmonary hypertension (see section 4).

Tests and examinations
Regular blood tests will be performed before and during treatment with Lenalidomide Teva because this medicine may reduce the number of blood cells that help fight infection (white blood cells) and help blood clot (platelets). The doctor will schedule blood tests:

• before treatment,
• weekly for the first 8 weeks of treatment,
• thereafter at least once a month.

Before starting lenalidomide treatment and during treatment, the patient may be evaluated for circulatory and respiratory problems.
Patients with MDS taking Lenalidomide Teva
If the patient has myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), there is an increased chance of developing a serious disease called acute myeloid leukaemia. Furthermore, it is not known how Lenalidomide Teva affects the likelihood of developing acute myeloid leukaemia. Therefore, the doctor may perform tests and check for signs that help better predict the risk of acute myeloid leukaemia during treatment with Lenalidomide Teva.
Patients with MCL taking Lenalidomide Teva
The doctor will request blood tests:

• before treatment,
• weekly for the first 8 weeks (2 cycles) of treatment,
• thereafter every 2 weeks during cycles 3 and 4 (more information in section 3 "Treatment cycle"),
• then at the beginning of each cycle and
• at least once a month.

Patients with FL taking Lenalidomide Teva
The doctor will request blood tests:

• before treatment,
• weekly for the first 3 weeks (1st cycle) of treatment,
• thereafter every 2 weeks during cycles 2 to 4 (more information in section 3 "Treatment cycle"),
• then at the beginning of each cycle and
• at least once a month.

The doctor may perform an examination to determine whether the patient has a large amount of tumour tissue in the body, including in the bone marrow. This may lead to a situation where tumour tissue begins to die, causing abnormal increases in various substances in the blood, potentially leading to kidney failure (a condition known as tumour lysis syndrome).
The doctor may examine the patient to check for skin changes such as red spots or rash.
The doctor may change the dose of Lenalidomide Teva or discontinue treatment based on blood test results and the patient's general condition. If the disease was recently diagnosed, the doctor may also assess treatment based on the patient's age and other conditions that may have occurred in the past.
Blood donation
During treatment and for at least 7 days after treatment ends, the patient must not donate blood.
Children and adolescents
Use of Lenalidomide Teva is not recommended in children and adolescents under 18 years of age.
Elderly patients and patients with kidney problems
If the patient is 75 years of age or older, or has moderate to severe kidney problems, the doctor will perform thorough evaluations before starting treatment.
Lenalidomide Teva and other medicines
Inform the doctor or nurse about all medicines currently taken or recently taken by the patient. This is necessary because Lenalidomide Teva may affect the action of other medicines. Likewise, other medicines may affect the action of Lenalidomide Teva.
In particular, inform the doctor or nurse if the patient is taking the following medicines:

• certain contraceptives, such as oral contraceptives, because they may stop working;
• certain medicines used for heart problems – such as digoxin;
• certain medicines used to thin the blood – such as warfarin.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding and contraception – information for women and men
Pregnancy
For women taking Lenalidomide Teva

• Do not take Lenalidomide Teva if the patient is pregnant, because it is expected to be harmful to the unborn child.
• Women must not become pregnant while taking Lenalidomide Teva. Therefore, women who may become pregnant must use an effective method of contraception (see "Contraception").
• If the patient becomes pregnant during treatment with Lenalidomide Teva, treatment must be stopped immediately and the doctor must be informed.

For men taking Lenalidomide Teva

• If the male patient's partner becomes pregnant while he is undergoing treatment with Lenalidomide Teva, she must immediately inform the doctor. The partner should seek medical advice.
• Men must also use an effective method of contraception (see "Contraception").

Breastfeeding
Breastfeeding is not allowed during treatment with Lenalidomide Teva, because it is not known whether Lenalidomide Teva passes into human milk.
Contraception
Women taking Lenalidomide Teva
Before starting treatment, ask the doctor about the possibility of becoming pregnant, even if the patient considers it unlikely.
Women who may become pregnant:

• will have pregnancy tests performed under the supervision of a doctor (before each treatment, at least every 4 weeks during treatment and at least 4 weeks after treatment ends), except in cases where the fallopian tubes have been cut and blocked to prevent the egg from reaching the uterus (tubal sterilization) AND
• must use effective methods of contraception for at least 4 weeks before starting treatment, during treatment and for at least 4 weeks after treatment ends. The doctor will advise the patient on appropriate contraceptive methods.

Men taking Lenalidomide Teva
Lenalidomide Teva passes into human semen. If a woman is pregnant or may become pregnant and does not use an effective contraceptive method, her partner must use a condom during treatment and for at least 7 days after treatment ends. This applies also to men who have had a vasectomy. During treatment and for at least 7 days after treatment ends, the patient must not donate semen.
Driving and operating machinery
Do not drive or operate machinery if the patient experiences dizziness, fatigue, drowsiness, balance disturbances due to vestibular dizziness or blurred vision after taking Lenalidomide Teva.
Lenalidomide Teva contains sodium
This medicine contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg) of sodium per capsule, meaning the medicine is considered "sodium-free".

3. How to take Lenalidomide Teva

Lenalidomide Teva must be administered by healthcare professionals experienced in the treatment of multiple myeloma, MDS, MCL or FL.

• When Lenalidomide Teva is used to treat multiple myeloma in patients who are not eligible for bone marrow transplantation or who have previously received other treatment, the medicine is used in combination with other medicines (see section 1 “Why Lenalidomide Teva is used”).
• When Lenalidomide Teva is used to treat multiple myeloma in patients after bone marrow transplantation or to treat patients with MDS or MCL, the medicine should be used as monotherapy.
• When Lenalidomide Teva is used to treat follicular lymphoma, it is taken together with another medicine called “rituximab”.

Lenalidomide Teva should always be taken exactly as prescribed by the doctor. If in doubt, consult the doctor or pharmacist.
If the patient is taking Lenalidomide Teva together with other medicines, they should read the package leaflet included with those medicines for information on their use and effects.

Treatment cycle
Lenalidomide Teva is taken on specific days over a period of three weeks (21 days).

• Each 21-day period is called a treatment cycle.
• Depending on the day of the cycle, the patient will take one or more medicines. However, on some days the patient will not take any medicines.
• After completing each 21-day cycle, the patient should start a new 21-day cycle. OR

Lenalidomide Teva is taken on specific days over a period of four weeks (28 days).

4. Possible adverse effects

Like all medicines, this medicine can cause adverse effects, although not everyone will experience them.
If any of the following serious adverse effects occur, stop taking
Lenalidomide Teva immediately and contact your doctor straight away – immediate
treatment may be necessary:

• urticaria, rash, swelling of the eyes, lips or face, difficulty breathing or itching, which may be symptoms of severe allergic reactions known as angioedema and anaphylactic reaction;
• severe allergic reaction possibly starting as a rash in one area, spreading over the entire body and associated with significant skin peeling (Stevens-Johnson syndrome and/or toxic epidermal necrolysis);
• widespread rash, high body temperature, increased liver enzyme activity, blood abnormalities (eosinophilia), swollen lymph nodes and involvement of other organs (drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms also known as “DRESS” or “drug hypersensitivity syndrome”). See also section 2.
